Lamentations 4:12-14

The Voice

¹² Little did they know, thinking Jerusalem could not be breached—
    not by kings, not by ordinary people, and not by anyone on the earth—
Absolutely no one imagined
    Jerusalem’s enemies would get in.

¹³ Many and terrible were the crimes that her leaders,
    the ones who should be most righteous of all, committed.
Prophets and priests shed the blood of the upstanding
    and also the just in her midst.

¹⁴ Never had leaders wandered blindly,
    polluted by the blood they spilled,
Untouchable even by their garments.
